Red Deer Podiatrist & Foot Clinic

Doctors at The Foot Institute – Red Deer specialize in the medical and surgical therapy of the ankle and foot. Our podiatrists invest an average of a decade in learning, the first four years in undergrad studies to attain a Bachelors Degree, and the second 4 years in Medical School to obtain a Podiatric Medical Degree. Podiatric Medical School is similar to conventional medical school and in fact various podiatry programs are contained inside these academic institutions. After attaining a Podiatric Medial Degree, Physicians at the Foot Institute complete a hospital "internship" or residency for an additional 1 - 3 years.

Upon the fulfillment of the internship or residency, our Doctors have acquired wide-ranging health care training with an emphasis on complications pertaining to the feet and ankles. Our Doctors are educated to treat problems stretching from familiar disorders for instance, fungal and ingrown toenails, to those which are a lot more perplexing like clubfoot, bunions, or reconstructive surgery of the foot. Our Doctors have considerable surgical training which give them the skill required to carry out surgical treatment on those conditions that are ideally remedied through surgical intervention.

Our Doctors furthermore have a thorough practical knowledge and understanding of biomechanics, which is the study of the forces which the feet and legs withstand as we walk, run or carry out other activities. Understanding biomechanics and gait problems makes it possible for a Podiatric doctor to design shoes and orthotics which can offer pain relief and prevent numerous troubles which the feet commonly encounter.
